My backup only runs when there is a internet connection. I use my laptop 
at home most of the time. I have to find a way to check wether 
rdiff-backup is running and to reboot after it shutdown. I can use htop 
of course, but I am not sure if rdiff-backup is runnin also local on my 
laptop or only on my server.

Maybe there is a more advanced way to do this?
